CCM Sweet Sixteen: Bellagio (2nd ed.) v. Vineyard (1 Viewer)

[pltrgyst]

I'm a Vineyard guy because I'm a wine guy -- the theme fits our lifestyle, and I love the way it's done.

I even like the BCC Vineyardss, but they don't have the oversize $100 and $500. And I use Chipco Vineyard fracs with both.

For me, the $5s are the standouts, since they're my workhorse chip. And the eight-spot hundos are the icing on the cake. I dream of the day I might get a $500 in play, but that day will probably never arrive unless we hit the lottery.

Just musing off-topic for a moment here, since we're discussing beautiful chips, and Jack mentioned liking the Vineyard $5s -- IMO, the strongest single denom ever across any gambling city or state would be yellow $20 chips from Atlantic City. They are generally gorgeous:

Even the odd ones that don't look round:

Very solid line-up. One of my favorite of all time chips is an AC $20:

The Caesars AC is one of those sets that should have made the sweet 16, but came up short in the nomination thread. Perhaps next year...

Since NJ chips are forever live, owning a rack of those Borgota $20's is a complete fantasy for me.

If I lived near NJ that would be a possibility, otherwise not totally free.

Yeah it's funny my response was exactly the opposite of Taters: they're always live therefore I'm guaranteed to recoup.

One of the home/underground games I play used live Borgata chips for a time. They had mountains and mountains of reds and maybe a rack of green and then cash played. One weekend the guy who ran the game lost boatloads playing $5/10 NLHE and the next week we were all treated by new shitty chips, the Borgata chips having all been cashed in.

If I lived near NJ that would be a possibility, otherwise not totally free.

Would be glad to take care of the shipping if you ever want a rack. They're beautiful chips.
